Friday The 13th behind the scenes photos of the week.

Once again, from the His Name Was Jason DVD, here are some behind the scenes shots of Bonnie Hellman's death in Friday The 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter. In one close up shot you can clearly see the genius of Tom Savini and how he rigged a rubber knife on a track beside her neck and out the front. I have to say that is pretty crafty and always wondered how they did this gag because it looked so real, in my opinion.

Monster Mania 13 Part V reunion.

Rahl from the Night Owl board attended Monster Mania 13 and had this pic snapped of another great Part V reunion with Carol Locatell, Miguel A Nunez, Shavar Ross and Ron Sloan! Awesome! Check out the rest of his pictures of the convention right here!

My new "Roy" Bohr/Dark Side Studios.

Until Night Owl releases their Dick Head Roy mask, this will have to do. I am not a huge fan of this sculpt, but it does has it's charm. This one was sculpted by Jeremy Bohr and painted by Dark Side Studios. I am not liking the eyes, so I will have them repainted as well as the brows punched as apposed to glued.

Not to knock the painter-- it is painted fine, I am just anal. With some added highlights and tweaks here and there this will be a show-quality piece! The pull is super thick so it stands up well as a bust- I think I will have it foam filled as well.

Part III General Store location found!

This was on the F13 blog and wanted to just give props to the dude who runs this site for finding this. I have no clue how he did since there were really no accurate details of the location that I know of. It does look like it is THE shooting location though. Is it sad that things like this gets me excited? I am still hunting down the shooting locations of The Burning- since it was shot over a 90 mile radius in Western, NY at at least a half-dozen locations it will be hard.

If anyone has any information about the Burning location get at me- I have found some small areas that it was shot at, but really nothing significant.

Stu Charno insanity.

I really wish Stu would upload more of these, some excerpts from his book "High Koo". I dunno, but I am convinced Stu is a tad bit insane. Check this video out and check out the others on his YouTube channel.

Friday The 13th behind the scenes photo of the week.

These photos come courtesy of the His Name Was Jason DVD. They are never before seen (before this time) photos of production of Friday The 13th Part II. For those of you who don't own that DVD (or have never seen it) these may be a real treat for you!

Here's Lauren-Marie Taylor with someone from the crew, apparently. Not exactly sure who the guy is- anyone know?

CLAD: Thom Mathews interview.

Thom Mathews as Tommy Jarvis

CLAD forum did a short interview with Thom Mathews, more known to us horror fans from Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives and Return Of The Living Dead. It's worth a read, however Thom was pretty short and a little condescending.

CLAD: Did you have relationships with any of the cast members? 

TM: Jimmy Karen and I spooned once. One time come on!

Big ole twenty-seven.

I don't wanna milk Crash's post on Friday The 13th Part III's twenty-seventh birthday yesterday, but since Part III is my favorite of the entire franchise I felt compelled to at least say something.

The Return Of Fan Film Friday: Jason Vs. Leatherface

Jason vs Leatherface

Okay, I really gotta hand it to the film makers with this one- the editing was pretty good and the movie was all-around put together well. However, right off the bat a handful of things stood out to me like a sore thumb; why is The New Blood Jason carrying Freddy's head? Did Jason go on the Jared diet-- he's presumably lost about 55 pounds and Jason has a really nice house and he shuts the door after entering. Sadly, I was not down with the Jason costume as it looked really cheap and chinsey.

I guess it was cool how he c incorporated film footage of Mrs Voorhees and Leatherface III into the movie, it was sort of clever and a nice change of other fan films who used a faux Mrs Voorhees. I dunno though, I just really dislike these crossover stories. They always play out to be more cheesy/silly than interesting. Once it got to the actual acting, the sound was just horrible. I am sure it was due to MySpace's compression., but it made it that much harder to watch.
